If you're reading this, I'm sure somewhere on this page the writer of this blog is listed as "Bruce Wayne Brady." My real name is Anthony but as a huge Batman fan (Bruce Wayne) and a black guy (Wayne Brady), I did a little Wheel of Fortune Before and After wordplay and created a name, which is now a gamertag, twitter name and blogger name. I like it because it sums up who I see myself as and I find it entertaining. I used to get a good laugh in COD game lobbies from reading other gamertags. Last night on Uncharted 3, someone called me "Real Wayne Brady". It's funnier when people can read. I also didn't want this to happen:

If that's on his birth certificate, I love it.

What about your name? I don't mean Jim or Nancy, but your "game names."

1.Where did you come up with your gamertag?

2. If you change character names in games, what do you use? Your name or something else?

Decisions, decisions.

I used to stick with the traditional character names in RPGs like Zelda and Final Fantasy games but the last time I loaded up FF7, I decided to make it entertaining, and called Cloud "My Ninja." The screen caps were priceless with Aeris telling her mom "I was ok. I had My Ninja with me." I also used that one in DCUO.

We used to play Perfect Dark multiplayer on N64 and the winner of a round would pick a theme for character names for the next round. We laughed our ass off when the screen reported "you were killed by Herpes," or "killed by "Stupidity." Of course, we were in high school and this was hilarious to us.

Only YOU can save us...um...Douche....

I'm also the same guy that named my Animal Crossing town "Skanksville" after hearing my buddy say this on a drunken beach trip. I can't even think of the horrible names I've given Pokemon.

Midnight? I can do better than that.

Does it depend on what game you play whether you change the name? I'm currently playing Mass Effect 2 but decided to keep the name Shephard. It just felt better.

So, what's in a name? What have been some of your favorites? Have you had any interesting moments in a game because of the name of your character? How have people responded to your name online? Let me know. I'd love to hear your stories. Post pics if you have them. I'll be fighting crime with My Ninja, Bruce Wayne Brady.
